2021 Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets
Mid-month I shared with you that Disney had announced the 2021 Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets.
Three important points are that, there are no Blockout Dates for the length of the offer in 2021, the Park Hopper Plus is back, and there is no 6-Day tickets this year.

Using Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets in 2021
The confusion of 2020 has bled right into 2021! Especially in the realm of Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets. Tickets from 2 different Salute offers can be used at different times of the year.
In this post we break down all the rules and limits.

2021 Disney Armed Forces Salute Room Package vs Room Only Reservation
There is confusion on the room discount side also. Disney World has started to book military families into Military Basic Packages, which have very different rules than the traditional Military Room Only Reservation.
See how they are different and if they are right for you:

Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Ticket Price Increase & New Seasonal Pricing
When Park Hopping came back to WDW, all ticket options became available again. Disney took this opportunity to throw in the traditional February Price Increase.
New this year they instituted tiered pricing for 1-Day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets.

Military vs General Public Room Discounts
Sadly, since 2018 the Disney Armed Forces Salute room discount might not always be the best deal going.
In 2018 Disney Changed the way they offered their military room discounts, to be up to a percentage off based on occupancy versus a set percentage off.
This older post explains this practice:
